2 Samuel 22
1 And David spoke to Jehovah the words of this song in the day that Jehovah delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of the hand of Saul:
Pea naʻe lea ʻaki ʻe Tevita kia Sihova ʻae ngaahi lea ʻoe hiva ni ʻi he ʻaho naʻe fakamoʻui ai ia ʻe Sihova mei he nima ʻo hono fili kotoa pē, pea mei he nima ʻo Saula: ʻo ne pehē,
2 And he said, Jehovah is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer, even mine.
Ko hoku makatuʻu ʻa Sihova, mo ʻeku kolo, mo hoku fakamoʻui;
3 God, my rock, in him I will take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my savior. Thou save me from violence.
Ko e ʻOtua ʻo hoku mālohi; ko ia te u falala ki ai: ko hoku fakaū, mo e mālohi ʻo ʻeku moʻui, ko hoku fale māʻolunga, mo hoku hūfanga, mo hoku fakamoʻui; ʻoku ke fakahaofi au mei he fakamālohiʻi.
4 I will call upon Jehovah, who is worthy to be praised. So I shall be saved from my enemies.
Te u ui kia Sihova ʻaia ʻoku taau mo ia ʻae fakafetaʻi: pea ʻe pehē ʻae fakamoʻui au mei hoku ngaahi fili.
5 For the waves of death encompassed me. The floods of ungodliness made me afraid.
ʻI heʻene kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe mate, naʻe fakamanavahēʻi au ʻe he lōmaki mai ʻae kau tangata angakovi;
Naʻe kāpui au ʻe he ngaahi mamahi ʻoe faʻitoka; naʻe talia au ʻe he ngaahi tauhele ʻoe mate (Sheol h7585)
7 In my distress I called upon Jehovah. Yea, I called to my God. And he heard my voice out of his temple, and my cry came into his ears.
ʻI heʻeku mamahi naʻaku ui kia Sihova, mo tangi ki hoku ʻOtua: pea naʻa ne fanongo ki hoku leʻo mei hono faletapu, pea naʻe aʻu atu ʻa ʻeku tangi ki hono fofonga.
8 Then the earth shook and trembled, the foundations of heaven quaked and were shaken, because he was angry.
Naʻe toki ngalulu ai ʻa māmani mo tetetete; naʻe ngaue mo lulululu ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe langi, koeʻuhi ko ʻene houhau.
9 There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured. Coals were kindled by it.
Naʻe ʻalu hake ʻae kohu mei hono fofonga, pea naʻe keina ʻe he afi mei hono ngutu; naʻe tutu ʻaki ia ʻae fefie.
10 He bowed the heavens also, and came down, and thick darkness was under his feet.
Naʻa ne ofeʻi hifo foki ʻae ngaahi langi ʻo ne hāʻele hifo: pea naʻe ʻi hono lalo vaʻe ʻae poʻuli.
11 And he rode upon a cherub, and flew. Yea, he was seen upon the wings of the wind.
Pea naʻa ne heka ki he selupi, pea puna; pea naʻe hā mai ia ʻi he kapakau ʻoe matangi.
12 And he made darkness pavilions round about him, gathering of waters, thick clouds of the skies.
Pea naʻa ne ngaohi ʻae fakapoʻuli ko e fale ke tuʻu takatakai ʻiate ia, ko e ngaahi vai fakapoʻuli, mo e ngaahi ʻao matolu ʻoe langi.
13 At the brightness before him coals of fire were kindled.
Ko e meʻa ʻi he uloulo ʻi hono ʻao naʻe tutu ai ʻae fefie ʻoe afi.
14 Jehovah thundered from heaven, and the Most High uttered his voice.
Naʻe mana ʻa Sihova mei he langi, pea naʻe fakaongo atu ʻe he Toko Taha Māʻolunga ʻa hono leʻo.
15 And he sent out arrows, and scattered them, lightning, and discomfited them.
Pea naʻa ne fanaʻi atu ʻae ngaahi ngahau, mo fakamovetevete ʻakinautolu ko e ʻuhila ke veuveuki kinautolu.
16 Then the channels of the sea appeared. The foundations of the world were laid bare by the rebuke of Jehovah, at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.
Pea naʻe ha hake ʻae tokaʻanga ʻoe tahi, naʻe fakahāhā mai ʻae ngaahi tuʻunga ʻo māmani, ʻi he valokia mai ʻa Sihova, mo e ʻuʻulu mai ʻae mānava ʻo hono fofonga.
17 He sent from on high, he took me. He drew me out of many waters.
Naʻa ne fekau mei ʻolunga, ʻo ne puke au; naʻa ne toʻo atu au mei he ngaahi vai lahi;
18 He delivered me from my strong enemy, from those who hated me, for they were too mighty for me.
Naʻa ne fakamoʻui au mei hoku fili mālohi, pea meiate kinautolu naʻe fehiʻa kiate au: he naʻa nau mālohi fau kiate au.
19 They came upon me in the day of my calamity, but Jehovah was my support.
Naʻa nau talia au ʻi he ʻaho ʻo ʻeku tuʻutāmaki, ka ko Sihova ko hoku falalaʻanga.
20 He brought me forth also into a large place. He delivered me, because he delighted in me.
Naʻa ne ʻomi foki au ki he potu ʻataʻatā: naʻa ne fakamoʻui au, koeʻuhi ko ʻene fiemālie ʻiate au.
21 Jehovah rewarded me according to my righteousness. According to the cleanness of my hands he has rewarded me.
Naʻe totongi au ʻe Sihova ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni: ʻo hangē ko e maʻa ʻo hoku nima kuo pehē ʻa ʻene totongi kiate au.
22 For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, and have not wickedly departed from my God.
He kuo tauhi ʻeau ʻae hala ʻo Sihova, pea kuo ʻikai te u mahuʻi ʻi he angakovi mei hoku ʻOtua.
23 For all his ordinances were before me. And as for his statutes, I did not depart from them.
He naʻe ʻi hoku ʻao ʻa ʻene ngaahi fono kotoa pē: pea ko ʻene ngaahi fekau naʻe ʻikai te u ʻalu kehe mo ia.
24 I was also perfect toward him, and I kept myself from my iniquity.
Naʻaku angatonu foki ʻi hono ʻao, pea kuo u taʻofi au mei heʻeku hia ʻaʻaku.
25 Therefore Jehovah has recompensed me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in his eyesight.
Ko ia kuo totongi au ʻe Sihova ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku māʻoniʻoni: ʻo fakatatau mo ʻeku maʻa ʻi hono ʻao.
26 With the merciful thou will show thyself merciful. With the perfect man thou will show thyself perfect.
Kiate ia ʻoku ʻaloʻofa ongongofua te ke fakahā ʻe koe ʻae ʻaloʻofa, pea ki he tangata angatonu te ke fakahā koe ko e angatonu.
27 With the pure thou will show thyself pure. And with the perverse thou will show thyself contrary.
Kiate ia ʻoku angamaʻa te ke fakahā koe ki ai ko e angamaʻa; pea ko ia ʻoku angamamili, te ke fangatua mo ia.
28 And the afflicted people thou will save, but thine eyes are upon the haughty, that thou may bring them down.
Pea te ke fakamoʻui ʻae kakai ʻoku mamahi: ka ʻoku ʻafio ʻe ho fofonga ki he kakai fielahi, koeʻuhi ke hifo ʻakinautolu ki lalo.
29 For thou are my lamp, O Jehovah. And Jehovah will lighten my darkness.
He ko hoku maama ʻa koe, ʻE Sihova pea ʻe fakamaama ʻe Sihova ʻa ʻeku fakapoʻuli.
30 For by thee I run upon a troop. By my God do I leap over a wall.
He ko e meʻa ʻiate koe kuo u motuhi ai ha vāhenga tau: pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoku ʻOtua kuo u puna atu ai ʻi ha ʻā.
31 As for God, his way is perfect. The word of Jehovah is tried. He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him.
Ko e ʻOtua, ʻoku haohaoa hono hala ʻoʻona: kuo ʻahiʻahiʻi ʻae folofola ʻa Sihova: ko e ungaʻanga ia kiate kinautolu kotoa pē ʻoku falala kiate ia.
32 For who is God, except Jehovah? And who is a rock, except our God?
He ko hai ʻoku ʻOtua ka ko Sihova pe? Pea ko hai ko e makatuʻu, ka ko hotau ʻOtua pe?
33 God is my strong fortress, and he guides the perfect in his way.
Ko e ʻOtua ko hoku mālohi fakamoʻomoʻoni: pea ʻoku ne fakaʻataʻatā ʻa hoku ʻaluʻanga.
34 He makes his feet like hinds' feet, and sets me upon my high places.
ʻOku ne fakatatau ʻa hoku vaʻe ke hangē ko e [vaʻe ]ʻoe ʻanitelope; pea ʻoku ne fakaheka au ki hoku ngaahi potu māʻolunga.
35 He teaches my hands to war, so that my arms bend a bow of brass.
ʻOku ne akoʻi ʻa hoku nima ki he tau; ko ia ʻoku faʻa fesiua ai ha kaufana ukamea ʻi hoku nima.
36 Thou have also given me the shield of thy salvation, and thy gentleness has made me great.
Kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae fekau ʻo hoʻo fakamoʻui: pea ko e meʻa ʻi hoʻo angaʻofa kuo u hoko ai ʻo lahi.
37 Thou have enlarged my steps under me, and my feet have not slipped.
Kuo ke fakaʻataʻatā ʻae ʻaluʻanga ʻi lalo ʻiate au; ko ia naʻe ʻikai hekea ai ʻa hoku vaʻe.
38 I have pursued my enemies, and destroyed them, neither did I turn again till they were consumed.
Kuo u tulia ʻa hoku ngaahi fili, mo fakaʻauha kinautolu; pea naʻe ʻikai te u toe tafoki kaeʻoua ke u fakaʻosiʻosi ʻakinautolu.
39 And I have consumed them, and smitten them through, so that they cannot arise. Yea, they are fallen under my feet.
Pea kuo u fakaʻosiʻosi kinautolu, mo fakakafoʻi kinautolu, ke ʻoua naʻa nau faʻa tuʻu hake: ʻio, kuo nau hinga ki hoku lalo vaʻe.
40 For thou have girded me with strength to the battle. Thou have subdued under me those who rose up against me.
He ko koe kuo ke fakakofuʻaki au ʻoe mālohi ki he tau: ko kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu hake ke tauʻi au kuo ke fakamapelu hifo kinautolu kiate au.
41 Thou have also made my enemies turn their backs to me, that I might cut off those who hate me.
Kuo ke foaki foki kiate au ʻae kia ʻo hoku ngaahi fili, koeʻuhi ke u fakaʻauha kinautolu ʻoku fehiʻa kiate au.
42 They looked, but there was none to save; even to Jehovah, but he did not answer them.
Naʻa nau sio ka naʻe ʻikai ha tokotaha ke fakamoʻui; pea kia Sihova, ka naʻe ʻikai te ne talia kinautolu.
43 Then I beat them small as the dust of the earth. I crushed them as the mire of the streets, and spread them abroad.
Pea naʻaku toki haha fakaikiiki ʻakinautolu ke tatau mo e efu ʻoe kelekele, naʻaku malakaki kinautolu ʻo hangē ko e pelepela ʻoe hala, pea u fakamovetevete atu ʻakinautolu.
44 Thou have also delivered me from the strivings of my people. Thou have kept me to be the head of the nations. A people whom I have not known shall serve me.
Kuo ke fakahaofi foki au mei he fetauʻaki ʻa hoku kakai, kuo ke maluʻi au ke ʻulutukua kiate au ʻae hiteni: ʻe tauhi kiate au ha kakai naʻe ʻikai te u ʻiloa.
45 The foreigners shall submit themselves to me. As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me.
ʻE fakamoʻulaloa kiate au ʻae fānau ʻoe kakai muli, ʻekinautolu pe: ʻoka nau ka fanongo leva, tenau talangofua kiate au.
46 The foreigners shall fade away, and shall come trembling out of their hiding places.
ʻE fakaʻaʻau ke mole atu ʻae kakai muli, pea tenau manavahē mei honau toitoiʻanga.
47 Jehovah lives. And blessed be my rock. And exalted be God, the rock of my salvation,
ʻOku moʻui ʻa Sihova; pea ke monūʻia ʻa hoku makatuʻu; pea ke fakamāʻolunga hake ʻae ʻOtua ʻoe makatuʻu ʻo hoku fakamoʻui.
48 Even the God who executes vengeance for me, and who brings down peoples under me,
Ko e ʻOtua ia ʻaia ʻoku fai ʻae totongi maʻaku, mo ne fakamoʻulaloa ʻae kakai kiate au,
49 and who brings me forth from my enemies. Yea, thou lift me up above those who rise up against me. Thou deliver me from the violent man.
Mo ne ʻomi au mei he lotolotonga ʻo hoku ngaahi fili: ko koe foki kuo ke hiki hake au ke u māʻolunga hake ʻiate kinautolu naʻe tutuʻu hake kiate au: kuo ke fakamoʻui au mei he tangata ʻoku fai fakamālohi.
50 Therefore I will give thanks to thee, O Jehovah, among gentiles, and will sing praises to thy name.
Ko ia te u tuku ai ʻae fakafetaʻi kiate koe, ʻE Sihova, ʻi he haʻohaʻonga ʻoe hiteni, pea te u hivaʻaki ʻae fakafetaʻi ki ho huafa.
51 He gives great deliverance to his king, and shows loving kindness to his anointed, to David and to his seed, for evermore.
Ko e fale māʻolunga [ia ]ʻoe fakamoʻui maʻa ʻene tuʻi: pea ʻoku [ne ]fakahā ʻae ʻaloʻofa kiate ia kuo ne pani [ʻaki ʻae lolo], kia Tevita, pea ki hono hako, ʻo taʻengata.
